"'I WiW Be Governor
of All The People"
Official Statement Itoued by Richard I. Manning In Columbia
Wednesday Afternoon
Special to The Intelligencer
Columbia. Sept. 9.?The state demo
cratic executive committee has been
called to meet in Columbia at noon
next Tuesday in the library of the
state iiouse to canvass the returns
and declare the result of the second
primary election.
"I will be governor of all the peo
ple," said Richard I. Manning, gover
nor.nominate of South Carolina, in a
statement issued Wednesday while in
Columbia. Mr. Manning came over
from his home in Sumter and was
greeted by hundreds of Columbians as
he walked along Main street to his
headquarters. The following state
ment was' given out by Mr. Manning:
"1 wish to express my thanks to the
whole people of South Carolina for
the tremendous vote I received means
but one thing?that the principles I
advocate, law and order, peace and
harmony, struck a responsive chord
in the hearts' of our people.
"I cannot single out any set of men
to whom the result of this election is
due, since so many men in so many
places worked so steadfastly and so
earnestly for our cause. To the farm
ers, the merchants, the mechanics, the
textile workers, the traveling and pro
fessional men, and to all others' who
contributed to the wonderful result,
my profound thanks are due and are
hereby given. Except in this state
ment to the public it will be physical
ly Impossible for me to express my
heartfelt appreciation to the loyal
friends who worked with and for me.
"I would be wide of the mark if I
did not express my earnest apprecia
tion of the splendid work done by the
newspapers of the state. The press
as a whole was untiring in its effort
to show the people only the true is
sues and to print public matters in a
true light.
"It would be ingratitude on my part |
however, not to mention especially
the loyal support given me by my |
home people In Sumter and by the]
members of the 'Young Men's Man
ning Club' of Sumter, whose loyalty)
and devotion were a. source of strength
and inspiration to me throughout the
long campaign.
"I consider that the result of the
campaign of 1914 Is' a triumph for all
the agencies which work for the mor
al uplift of our people and not as a
personal victory.
"In conclusion, I wish to say, as I
have said many times before, that as
governor of South Carolina I will be
governor of all the people; that 1
yill not recognize any faction, but that
I will serve the whole people to the
utmost of my strength, and capacity,
with heart and head devoted only to
their welfare."

l atest official reports from the French government indicate that
the offensive tactics undertaken in the last day or two by the allied
armies have forced the Germans back at various points in the battle

Bordeaux reports officially that the British army has crossed the
river Marne and that the Germans hav fallen back 25 miles. Efforts
of the Germans to, break the French lines on the Ourcq river are

in a long drawn out'engagement in the Lublin district, Russian Poland.
An official statement issued at Petrograd declares that both Austrian
and German troops have been dislodged from theirfixed position
and have retired towards the south.
The battlefield in France is that over which Napoleon fought in
1814, with entrenched camps on both wings and the center. Paris I
covers the left wi::g, Chalons the center and Verdun the right, (while
mobile columns of troops arc ready to join in.
Vitry-Le-Francois nnd Montmirail seem to be th? points of the
chief engagements and there the carnage has been the heaviest. The
allies aim at preventing the German turning movement, with a mass
oft roopsc omposed of many army corps.

Dr. J. P. Klnard, ^resident of An
derson college, appeared with other
residents owning property on Cal
houn street and asked that council
take some action to drain that street
and remedy conditions.. . La ,, . ^
'The butchers of the city, were'.in
attendance to a man, anxious, again to
discuss the abattoir, situation if any
changes were tr- r?e made. They pre
sented a petition in which .ne stated
to council that they, frc *?ry well
pleased with the wev?t!*af the abattoir
Is npw being conducted anl des trod no
change, hut that ?\oy opposed, any In
crease In prie. The entiSfc abattoir
Question was' referred ?O the* abattoir,
committee und it was announced that
a meeting would take place at 10
o'clock on Friday morning at which
time the proprietor of the abattoir
and the butchers, the board of j health
and all others intc-osi rid will mo*t
with the committee oil! this-matter
will be settled once and lor all. It is
believed that a loug-aulfering public
will be delighted to hear this news.
An ordinance was atjno'-od providing
for a minimum sentence of ?.0 or r.o
convicted, in the recorder's court of
carrying a pistol and another section
of' the same 'ordinance provides that
the.fine fpr selling liquor must be $100
in .each case..
An ordinance which was adopted
about two years ago providing fur a
pardon board, to consist of certain city
officials "us repealed.
Several resolutions from the board
of health, relative to the abattoir sit
uation; to. sewerage, and to other ur
tlcl.es were received as Information
by th? council.
' ; Several petitions for extension.", of
the sewerage' system In the thickly'
populated sections, of the city were
heard and these p?utlo??" were refer
red to a committee to consist of Alder
men King, Carter, Spearman and Tat>.
An ordinance was adopted which
provides for a heavy fine , for anyone
convicted of conducting a disorderly
house, a house of ill repute or-a house
where , people congregate to .drink.

The question of the'city purchasing
a new combination pump and hose au
tomobile fire truck was considered at
length and-.representatives of the au
tomobile factories were present to
state their propositions. Upon motion
of Alderman ' Spearman, the matter
was referred to the fire committee,
consisting of Aldermen King, T?te and
Spearman. - !'
The matter of appropriation;-, from
tho city for the coining year was the
next question before' council and this
was a very interesting*'feature. Sov
eral members were opposed to several
appropriations but > tho budget was
adopted.
The hospital appropriation of $2,
000 por year was adopted.
The appropriation to aid the Ladies'
Civic association in beautifying the
publie square, amounting to about $200
per year was passed.

until a committee can investigate the
conditions and: determine Just what
ttiis organization is doing. The com
ton, King and T?te. ,,
The appropriation of $260 a year for
the Salvation Army.was again made.
The most perplexing problem fee
ing council .. in the way of appropri
ations seemed to be that, whir' pro
vides for $183- per month for th? Car
negie library. This matter caused a
discussion lasting well over an hour
and finally op motion of Alderman Car
ter, It was decided to suspend this ap
propriation. . Carter, King, T?te and
Syearman voted for the motion, Barton
not voting.
The question of allowing Are works
next Christmas was discussed and it
was decided to allow the. shooting ol
fireworks to begin at 7 .o'clock on
Chiitmas eve and continue through the
following Saturday evening.
When-.the question of new streets
was taken up a general . discussion
arose, and it took over an hour for
the body to reach any. conclusion on
this matter. Alderman . Spearman
pointed out that River, street was in
serious condition, without curbs, and
that this.work had been long neglected.
Ho asked that the street be. curbed
and drained and asked .that additional
work bo done on Morris street for the
benefit of the children attending the
Kennedy street school. His motion
Anally: prevailed, with the exception of
that portion relating .to Morris street
Alderman Barton then | spoke In be
half of the property owners on Calboun
street and insisted that work be start
on this undertaking at once. He want
ed tho street between-;Evans, street
and Dick Avenue curbed, drained and
paved,: .which will cost about $2,860,
according to sp?cification submitted
by iuo city engineer. His motion ni
nally prevailed,after a prolonged dis
cussion.
* At li.;2E.the body went into execu
tive session for the election of ad
ditional city officials.
The most important matter discuss
ed in the. executive sew Ion was the
election or firemen for the .coming
term, . .This resulted in the .election
of W, Xf. Jackson, as chief, with J. F.

Dear Sirs:
The Cole Three-Rbw Oat Drill bought of you last fall, gives general satisfaction.
One man and mule can sow six to eight acres per day better and easier than any wa /' I know;

hundred and s evenly-two bushels oats. The oats I took first prize at the Grain Festival in

ENGLAND'S FINANCER
London, Sept.* 8.-10:10 p. m.?"We
want every penny ws c:tn raise to help
fight the enemy,*' said -.David Lloyd
George, chancellor of the exchequer,
replying to a deputation from the mu
nicipalities which wanted the aid of
the treasury in securing loans at
cheap rates.
"We must come out triumphant in
this struggle," continued, the chan
cellor, "and as finance is going to
play a very important part we must
husband our resources. We do not
want a penny spent which is not ab
solutely essential to relieve distress.
In my judgment the last few hundred
millions may win this war.
"The . first hundred millions our
enemy can stand as well as w?, but
the last they can't; thank God! There,
fore, I think cash Is going to count
much more-than we imagine. At the
present moment we only are at the
beginning; we are fighting a tough
enemy who is well prepared for the
fight and probably will fight to the
vjy end. before ho will accept the
only conditions upon which we can
possibly make peace.
"It we are-wise, that is where our
resourea will come in, not merely of
men, but of cash. We.have won with
a silver bullet ? before. We financed
Europe in . the- greatest, war we. ever,
fought and that is what won. Of
course, Brliisutenacity -and .British
courage always come in, and they
always wiij. But let us remember
that British cash "tells too."
